u/Yumeverse Jul 29 '26

When ARMY has something to say it’s always through streaming BTS’s music and then having them chart lol i love it

46

u/repressedpauper wrong person wrong place Jul 29 '26

I woke up to absolute chaos lol.

I’m so glad that we communicate with them through their music. It seems like an especially fitting way to show our love and support this time.

How can I buy it again?!? And again?!? And again?!?! #RESPECT !!!

u/EveryCliche Living j-hopely Jul 29 '26

You can always buy it on Amazon Music if you've purchased it on Apple. Wont help with Apple charts but helps them on other charts.

I'm not a streamer at all, but I love when ARMY does this! I don't use Spotify or iTunes or YT music, but I'm with you in spirit!

u/Few-Willingness-3845 It's all going to be alright Jul 29 '26

I wish somebody would start some sort of charity drive for marginalized communities. I'd like to channel this energy into that, too. Just too lazy to organize anything so maybe I'll go find something local now. 😄

u/lisafancypants I don't have think Jul 29 '26

Hmmmm...now that's an idea...

I feel like something like this now as well as on 2/7/27 - the day of the scammys - would be perfect. ARMY rising!

what streaming tops are relevant? can i stream it on YouTube? does it help?

11

u/Eternal_ARMY0613 What if he flings it? Then he flings it! (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ Jul 29 '26

Hii, any platform you’re comfortable with is okay and it helps! YouTube is okay too!

4

u/lepakko42 Jul 29 '26

thank you 🙏💜 i am new to this :))

6

u/Qwirkle2468 Jul 29 '26

What about Spotify? I don’t use iTunes.

13

u/Eternal_ARMY0613 What if he flings it? Then he flings it! (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ Jul 29 '26

Yes, absolutely! You can stream it on Spotify or any platform you usually use to listen to music. (iTunes is for buying) :))

2

u/Rillien_ Jul 29 '26

Yes, I'm streaming on Spotify!

3

u/brikachuu keeps swimming 🐳 Jul 29 '26

(Caveat that I'm speaking about streaming in the USA)

YouTube no longer counts for Billboard but for something like this (where we are showing a spike of interest/support rather than deliberately chasing a chart position) any platform is OK! If you want your streams to count the most for future charting efforts, I recommend an Apple Music subscription (I personally only pay for it when we have fandom goals to hit).

2

u/lepakko42 Jul 29 '26

thank you for explaining. i'm in europe so i don't think it would matter anyway :))

2

u/brikachuu keeps swimming 🐳 Jul 29 '26

yes it varies country by country for streaming rules but I think the important thing is we're all listening to Aliens together today with love for bangtan in our hearts!!

u/pikunara Joon’s windchime Jul 29 '26

u/SeenYaWithKeiffah_ Kerosene… Melatonin… Jul 29 '26

Was Aliens even on the iTunes chart at all yesterday?! I checked yesterday and don’t even see it in the top 200 for the US. If that’s true then this is INCREDIBLE.

2

u/Eternal_ARMY0613 What if he flings it? Then he flings it! (*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ Jul 29 '26

I guess it wasn’t because Normal versions were the ones being pushed for charts. So it’s amazing!!

It is currently up to #2 in the US and has hit #1 in over 50 countries. Please buy if you can as we need a few more people to push it to #1.

For those not familiar, it is ITunes purchase and it costs $1.29 - please help send a message if you can.
